5 books (or series of books) you liked as a kid/teenager:
The hardest part is narrowing it down. ^_^
1) The Hardy Boys by Franklin W. Dixon
2) 101 Dalmations by Dottie Smith
3) Secrtets of the Unicorn Queen by assorted authors, including Josepha Sherman
4) The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
5) Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
4 favorite poems or short stories:
Eh, this one is harder. I'm not much for poetry, honestly.
1) Rudyard Kipling's Thousandth Man
2) Am I Blue? by Bruce Coville
3) How much string is in the world. Who has it. by Michael Tieg
4) The Ten o'Clock People by Stephen King
3 books, plays, or poems that you couldn't stand:
1) The Merry Gentry books by Laurell K. I read the first one since it was a gift and I snickered the entire time. But it's autographed so I still have it. *sheepish grin*
2) The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop. So much ruined potential. So many degrees of awful.
3) Rhapsody by Elizabeth Haydon. This book is horrible. I read this while I was in a hostel in Paris. We played "name the cliche" then I threw it across the room and stolekahn's copy of Transformation by Elizabeth Berg.
2 books, plays or poems that haven't been made into movies yet but should be:
I'm pretty much withyashakizu on this one. Hollywood should stop making adaptations and actually work at something for once. That said:
1) The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud - What do you mean you haven't read it?
2) The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. I see this as a television show instead of a movie. Buffy but with a middle-aged man as the main character.
1 book (or series) that you think everyone should read:
Lamb by Christopher Moore. Brilliant, beautiful, heart-breaking and hilarious.
Nobody I tag ever plays, so you can all safely ignore this.
